I was really excited to play this... until I heard that there is a new AP for this game.

Out of all the Wii releases I don't understand why they would realease a new AP for such a low key realease like this.

I will still grab it and play it in "demo" mode I guess.

GO THE MIGHTY DRAGONS!!!

Rugby League 3 - New Protection

It seems the newly released Wii title "Rugby League 3" may contain a new form of protection that stops the game from running on a chipped console. Yes, an original purchased game disc will apparently not function when run on a modded console.

A warning on the back of the game's packaging states "unauthorized technical modifications to your wii may render this game unplayable."

Users have been reporting the issue on the game's official forum. According to their reports, newer chips like DriveKey and WODE work fine.

The official statement from the administrator of the game's forum is "if you are having problems getting the game working with your modchip, you should try deleting any softmods, hacks, or other non standard software that you have on your Wii. "


UPDATE: The game is apparently looking for the Trucha Bug in an IOS file so some softmods are affected. Hackers are still trying to narrow down which file(s) it is checking for.

It's an interesting copy protection. Game works great... but it's locked in to a demo mode. You can only play 'Instant Action' match (two 5 minute halves) with two randomly selected teams (changes every time you exit and enter the start 'Instant Action' menu. So I did play a full game like this... it's not too bad. Graphics are pretty good for a Wii game going for the 'realistic look' (games with the 'cartoon' or 'cel shade' look like Red Steel 2 look better overall IMO)... the control isn't too bad, except passing using a flick of the wiimote and/or wiimote+nunchuck (for longer passes) isn't very precise. But not terrible game. Hope someone finds a way around the copy protection, as being here in North America we'll never see an NTSC copy of this game that I could buy, even if I wanted to.

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @BigOnYa My dad recently bought a spare Series X off of me, got game pass, and saw Madden '24 on Game Pass, decided to try it out.

    ...He was a bit taken aback by the 60GB download size. Poor guy's still living in the 90s!

  • AdenTheThird @ AdenTheThird:
    @K3Nv2 He was looking into consoles for his house anyway (for my younger siblings and himself) and I had a spare XSX and Switch I ended up selling him at pretty steep cuts. I would just give them to him, but I did buy them with the intent to sell them... and college is super expensive.
